Stone cold nails

After pink, it was time to go dark. And what better way to go dark then to try out China Glaze Stone Cold from their new Capitol Colours collection. I only got three polishes from this collection – Harvest Moon, Stone Cold and Luxe And Lush. I did kind of want Fast Track but it was out of stock already and oh well. Anyway, on to pictures!
The bottle:
And on the nails, I couldn’t just paint my nails with it and stop there. So I added some dots with OPI Black Onyx and covered the entire thing with Essie Matte About You to make the dots matte as well. And this is the result:
I must say I am totally loving this color, it’s like granite and if you cover it with a glossy top coat, it turns into a magnificent wet asphalt look. Gorgeous!

Pros:
* Beautiful color
* Dries fast
* Decent brush like CG always has
* Looks fantastic matte AND glossy
* 2 coats only. You could get away with one coat if you apply it thick and even but it’s a tad tricky.

Cons:
* A bit prone to streaking because..
* … it dries fast! You have to have a steady and quick hand for it to not streak because you have to apply it fast and steady. I had shaky hands so I had to work slower then this polish likes and as a result, it’s a bit messy here and there.

Overall this gets a thumbs up for sure!

Next post on Monday or Tuesday, it’s my birthday this weekend so I’ll be busy with that🙂 I have some exciting reviews lined up for next week so stay tuned!
